Bought this vehicle used in 2010 and it had a lot of corrosion underneath then. Currently has 50 K miles. My brakes are squealing due to corrosion preventing the calipers from moving and the wheel was corroded to the hub and it took a lot of effort to remove it. The structural members and all the components have loose layers of rust. The exhaust heat shields fell off. The spare tire restraint system looks too weak so I removed the spare. The spare wheel is so corroded that the bolt holes are no longer smooth for the lugs to bear against evenly. I am concerned that something bad will happen eventually if a weakened critical part were to fail. I doubt the undercoating Toyota is offering for 04 to 06 trucks can help much at this point. I don't want to be the guy who drops a fuel tank on the freeway.
The contact owns 2005 Toyota Tundra. While driving at approximately 35 mph, the contact heard a thump and the spare tire fell from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed the cable holding the tire rotted. The vehicle was serviced for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000 and the current mileage was approximately 19,200
